Not long after the Bears traded for receiver N’Keal Harry earlier this month, head coach Matt Eberflus called the former first-round pick.
“Hey, this is a fresh start — it’s a clean slate,” Eberflus said he told him. “We’re going to look at you on a day-to-day basis and you dive in and buy into everything we’re doing —and we’ll see how far it goes.”
It was what Harry needed to hear.
“This is a reset,” Harry said after the Bears’ first practice Wednesday. “A much-needed reset.”
When he was drafted No. 32 overall in 2019 out of Arizona State, Harry became the first receiver that Patriots boss Bill Belichick had ever taken in the first round.
